A Devon pub has set tails wagging - after winning the title Devon’s Most Dog Friendly Pub.

The Cadeleigh Arms near Tiverton scooped the award. Dogs love the pub's box of 'toys, treats and tipples' which are kept to entertain lively pups. But pooches who are pooped after a long walk love it too - because there's a dog bed in front of the fire for tired canines to curl up in.

Organisers were looking for pubs which go above and beyond to provide clear dog friendly signage, fresh water, dog snacks at the bar and inclusive dog friendly space indoors and outsides. And they were amazed to receive 2,500 nominations for the title over the summer.

The Cadeleigh Arms was announced as the winner of the award at the Devon Tourism Awards ceremony on Thursday November 28 at the Riviera Centre, Torquay.

It was the first time there has been a Dog Friendly Pub category to encourage local pubs to offer the best in hound hospitality and celebrate the pup-friendly pubs that go the extra mile to make four-legged friends feel welcome.

Finalists were nominated by dog owners throughout the summer and a total of 2,500 pubs were nominated.

A silver award was given to The Tom Cobley Tavern in Spreyton 'for their fantastic canine welcome'.

Devon's quirkiest pub stories

Nicholas Hack and Tina King, owners of The Cadeleigh Arms said: “To the dogs of Devon and beyond. Don't leave your owner at home! Whilst they sit relaxing at the bar, let our friendly staff show you the box of toys, treats and tipples we have just for you. Or if you are tired from your walk, curl up on the dog bed in front of the fire. You won’t want to go home! Thank you for your votes.”
